What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo analyze the vaccination status against COVID-19 and factors associated with deaths from the disease.
methodCross-sectional study with secondary data on deaths from COVID-19 in the city of Vitória, Espírito Santo, between February 2020 and December 2023. Individuals under 18 years of age and those with unavailable vaccination status were excluded. Relative and absolute frequencies were calculated by vaccination status. Poisson regression was used to calculate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
resultsA total of 1,460 deaths were included, of which 244 (16.7%) had received ≥2 doses of the vaccines. Among the unvaccinated individuals, the highest frequency of deaths was recorded in individuals aged 60 to 79 years (47.9%), male (56.4%), and non-white race/skin color (53.0%). The PR of death in vaccinated individuals was higher in people ≥80 years old (PR 5.55; 95%CI 2.92; 10.55), 60-79 years old (PR 3.61; 95%CI 1.95; 6.69), with chronic lung disease (PR 1.35; 95%CI 1.03; 1.78) or chronic neurological disease (PR 1.37; 95%CI 1.08; 1.72), respiratory distress (PR 1.51; 95%CI 1.02; 2.23), desaturation (PR 1.97; 95%CI 1.35; 2.88) and adynamia (PR 2.80; 95%CI 2.02; 3.90). People with 1-4 years of schooling (PR 0.63; 95%CI 0.44; 0.90), 5-8 years of schooling (PR 0.57; 95%CI 0.39; 0.84), ≥8 years of schooling (PR 0.66; 95%CI 0.45; 0.97) had a lower prevalence.
conclusionThe highest prevalence of deaths among vaccinated individuals was associated with age ≥60 years, chronic lung or neurological disease, respiratory distress, desaturation, and adynamia. Loss of immunological memory in the elderly indicates the need for vaccine boosters to prevent deaths.
